Hi Alexander.
I was looking for a U3 version of WinSnap, 10 minutes ago I found this post, I installed it and bought a license.
In attach you can see how it looks in the U3 LaunchPad.
There is a problem with this first U3 version:
As you know U3 uses a temporary folder on the host PC to run the program, when you unmount the U3 usb key, the launchpad erases all traces on the host pc. When I licensed the product, WinSnap created the WinSnap.key file in the working directory where the executable is running from (temp directory on the host pc). When I configure WinSnap, the .ini file gets updated in the same directory. The problem is that when I close WinSnap and I pull out the U3 usb key, the U3 LaunchPad closes and it erases all those files from the temp directory; when I insert the key again, launchpad starts, I execute WinSnap and it's like when I started it for the first time: all the customizations I make are lost because files get written on the host PC and not on the U3 key (specifically, in the U3drive:\System\Apps folder.
There are 2 folders under each U3 subdirectory apps folder, Data and Exec. I tried putting all WinSnap data files (WinSnap.key, Lang subdir, etc.) under the Data folder to see if WinSnap read those from the U3 key instead of the temporary host PC folder but that wasn't the case.
Also, when I save the screenshots, file are written in the Screenshots folder on the host pc, rather then on the U3 key. You should make sure that the running executable of WinSnap uses its Data folder on the U3 key rather than the host PC.
I think that in the U3 SDK those things are explained, if you need to test a new version let me know, I'll be glad to help.
I'll be waiting for the next WinSnap U3 version...
Ciao,
Alessandro
